Terms & Conditions

Terms of Use

These terms and conditions govern your use of the website at ha2d.com, operated by Ha² Architecture & Design Inc.

By using this website you accept these terms in full. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the website.

2. This website is not professional advice

This is the most important thing on this page, so we have put it near the top.

The content of this website is provided for general information only. It is not architectural, engineering, construction, planning, regulatory, or legal advice, and you should not rely on it as though it were.

Every building project is different. What was appropriate for a project shown on this website will not necessarily be appropriate for yours, and descriptions of completed work do not indicate what any future project will cost, how long it will take, or what approvals it will require.

Nothing on this website creates a client relationship between you and Ha². A professional relationship begins only when we have both signed a written agreement setting out the scope of the work, the fees and the terms. Until then, no obligation arises on either side, and enquiries, conversations and preliminary discussions do not commit either of us to anything.

Before acting on anything you read here, please obtain professional advice specific to your own project and property.

3. Using this website

You may view, download and print pages from this website for your own personal or internal business use, subject to the restrictions in these terms.

  • Republish, sell, rent or sub-licence material from this website
  • Reproduce, duplicate or copy material for a commercial purpose
  • Use this website in any way that is unlawful, or that damages or impairs it
  • Use this website to copy, host, transmit or send unsolicited commercial communications
  • Use automated systems to access, scrape or collect data from this website, other than legitimate search engine indexing
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to this website, its server, or any connected database or system
  • Introduce viruses, malware or any other harmful code
  • Use this website to transmit material that is unlawful, defamatory, deceptive, or that infringes anyone’s rights

We may restrict or block access to this website from any IP address that appears to be breaching these terms.

4. Intellectual property and project images

Unless stated otherwise, we or our licensors own the copyright and all other intellectual property rights in this website and in the material published on it. All rights are reserved.

Architectural drawings, designs, plans, renderings and photographs shown on this website remain our property or that of the relevant photographer or rights holder. They are published here to show our work. They must not be copied, reproduced, adapted or used to construct or design any building, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.

The name Ha², the Ha² logo, and our other marks and trade names are our property and may not be used without our written permission.

Photographs on this website may show buildings that are privately owned. Their appearance here does not grant any right of access to those properties, nor any right to reproduce images of them.

Some material on this website, including magazine features and press coverage, is reproduced with the permission of the relevant publisher and remains the property of its owner.

If you believe material on this website infringes your copyright, please contact us at houry@ha2d.com with details, and we will investigate promptly.

5. Awards and published work

This website refers to awards, nominations and published features relating to our work. These are stated accurately to the best of our knowledge as at the date shown on this page. Awards recognise specific past projects and are not a guarantee, representation or promise about the outcome of any future project.

6. Enquiries and information you submit

When you submit an enquiry through our contact form or book a meeting with us, you agree that the information you provide is accurate and that you are entitled to provide it.

Please do not send us confidential or sensitive material through this website. Information submitted through a website contact form is not a secure channel for confidential documents. If we need material of that kind, we will arrange a secure way to receive it.

Any personal information you submit is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We aim to respond to genuine enquiries, but we are not obliged to respond to every enquiry, to take on any project, or to enter into any agreement.

7. Availability of this website

We make reasonable efforts to keep this website available and up to date, but we do not guarantee that it will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors, or that the information on it is complete or current.

We may change, suspend, restrict or withdraw all or part of this website at any time without notice, and we may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised. Your continued use of the website after a change means you accept the revised terms.

8. Third-party websites and services

This website contains links to websites operated by other people and organisations, including social media platforms, publications that have featured our work, and services such as scheduling and mapping tools.

These links are provided for convenience. We have no control over those websites and services, we do not endorse them, and we are not responsible for their content, their availability, or how they handle your information. Following a link is at your own risk, and the terms and privacy policy of that website will apply once you leave ours.

9. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • This website and its content are provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
  • We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website.
  • We are not liable for any decision you make in reliance on the content of this website. Please see section 2.
  • We are not liable for indirect, consequential, special or incidental loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, data or goodwill.

These limitations apply to your use of this website. They do not affect the terms of any signed professional services agreement between you and Ha², which governs our liability for work we actually carry out for you.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against any losses, damages, costs and expenses we incur arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of this website.

11. General

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms without notice to you. You may not transfer yours without our written consent.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of this website.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply in it. Any dispute relating to these terms or to this website is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.
